Interconnection Incentives of a Large Network
This paper builds on Cremer, Rey and Tirole’s analysis of the possible incentives of a firm with the largest share of installed-base customers, in a market characterized by strong network externalities, to degrade or refuse interconnection with its smaller rivals in order to gain a relative quality advantage in competing for new customers. We extend their model to allow any number of smaller ri...
متن کاملNonlinear Pricing with Network Externalities and Countervailing Incentives
This paper considers the screening problem faced by a monopolist of a network good in a general setting. We demonstrate that the joint presence of asymmetric information and network externalities revise the “no distortion on the top” and “one-way distortion” principle. The pattern of consumption distortions crucially depends on the congestion of the network. It exhibits one-way distortion in un...
متن کاملStandardization and Network Externalities
The standardization issue in the ICT industry is mainly compatibility in the presence of network externalities. The compatibility in Economics usually means interoperability between competing products. For instance, the VHS VCRs and the Betamax VCRs are incompatible in the sense that tapes recorded in one format (e.g., VHS) could not be played in the other format (e.g., Betamax). Hence, in the ...

متن کاملNetwork Topologies and Consumption Externalities
The economic implications of network topologies are studied via a monopolist’s model of market networks originally proposed by Phan, et al. (2003). By embedding the market into a larger collection of network topologies, in particular, a class of scale-free networks, we extend the early analysis built upon a class of ring networks. To facilitate the study of the impacts of network topologies upo...
